More lies revealed. Oil didn’t come from Dino bones 42 miles deep

Once again proving my point, AI is retarded.Saturn's moon Titan has abundant liquid hydrocarbons, including methane and ethane, that are similar to but not the same as oil and natural gas found on Earth. These hydrocarbons are derived from the planet's vast organic chemical inventory and form lakes and dunes on Titan's surface, containing more of these substances than all of Earth's known fossil fuel reserves.
Titan's "Hydrocarbon Oil"
- Composition:
On Titan, the liquid hydrocarbons are primarily methane and ethane, which are gases on Earth but remain liquid in Titan's frigid temperatures.
- Formation:
These compounds are produced from the breakdown of organic molecules by ultraviolet light from the Sun, creating a "giant factory of organic chemicals".
- Abundance:
Titan's surface contains hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than Earth's oil and gas reserves.Distinction from Earth's Oil
- Location:
These liquid hydrocarbons collect in large lakes, seas, and rivers, with notable bodies like Ligeia Mare
- Origin:
Unlike Earth's oil, which forms from the remains of ancient organisms, Titan's hydrocarbons are created abiogenically (without life) through geological and atmospheric processes.
- Definition:
While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, Titan's hydrocarbons do not strictly meet the definition of "oil" or "natural gas" as understood on Earth, which implies a biological origin.
Organic compounds are chemical compounds that contain carbon (C) atoms, usually bonded to hydrogen (H), and often to other elements such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), and halogens (like chlorine (Cl) and fluorine (F)). They are called “organic” because they were once thought to come only from living organisms. Today, we know that organic compounds can also be synthesized in laboratories. [1-4]
